Quantum dynamics are affecting the transistors

The 3 case C++ function to determine the meaning of life:

char *meaingOfLife(){

char *Meaning_of_your_life=System("grep -i "meaning of life" (arts_student) ? 
                                                      /dev/null:/dev/random);

#ifdef _POLITICALY_CORRECT_
char *Meading_of_your_life=System((char)"grep -i "* \n * \n" /dev/urandom");
